Deliberative democracy is the darling of democratic theory and political theory more generally, and generates international interest. In this book, a number of leading democratic theorists address the key issues that surround the theory and practice of deliberative democracy. They outline the problems faced by deliberative democracy in the context of the available empirical evidence, survey potential solutions and put forward new and innovative ideas to resolve these issues.
This volume provides a comprehensive, structured and insightful discussion of the key issues and challenges facing deliberative democracy as it enters its third generation and is to be welcomed as a significant contribution to the literature in this field. -- Clodagh Harris, University College Cork * ID: International Dialogue, A Multidisciplinary Journal of World Affairs *
Deliberative democracy goes from strength to strength in the theory, practice, and analysis of politics. One sign of its success is the number of controversies that surround it. Deliberative Democracy: Issues and Cases is an excellent and essential guide to key contemporary controversies in the field engaged by some of its best scholars. -- John Dryzek, Australian National University
